BIIIOIITON, JUNE a. 1 t The, pleasant village of Rottingdeah has already to boast of many iiishionablei,failies, who have taken lodgings there for the whole of the summer season; referring the retired and rural beauties of that. bil4l. atiO4 to the splendour and bustle ofßrighton. Rottingdean is remarkable. for the singular varia tion of its wells, which rise as the tide .declines, and are nearly empty. at high water. The researches of natural philosophy, hitherto, we believe, have not been able to ~,certain the cause of this apparent con tradidion in the course of nature. Lord HARROWBY left the Old Ship.for. London, on Wednesday. A sudden indisposition of cue of his children had caused his Lordship's visit here. Last night both Libraries were crowded. Do- NALDIWN% magnificent Steyne Lounge was the pro menade of the Ladies, until the assemblage became too numerous for the walk. Od Monday, the West Somerset Local Militia had a grand field-day, at Sand-Hill Park, the seat of Sir J. Lethbridge, on whiCh occasion the'raunton Volunteer Rifle Co e attended, when the colours were presented . ny Mrs. Lethbridge. Lient..COl. Lethbndge, in delivering them to the Ensign, ex pressed 1)1 ~self in an apposite energeticspeech. Tins Address, made within hearing of the whole regiment, and a considerabie. number of the most respettable Gentry of the Western part of the coun try, was received with the most marked approbation, • and rXeiteo the most'exhillrating emotion to every • hosoul. The day was uncommonly fine, and after manotuvering in a style which would have done `honour ,even to veteran proficiency, several hogs. 'head. of beer, and 700 rations of bread and cheese Were served out to the men. They left the Park t fi ve eeT6A . ; the 'licit proceeded to Taunton. The satisfaction which attended this occasion, 'was, h'aCvei - et, interrupted by an event as trivial as if . unhookedfor One of the 'Local.Militia lien, on his march home, expressed himself very contumeliously to his officer; who had remon strated with him on the impropriety. of quitting the company to which he belonged, and emoodying himself with another part of the Regiment. The insolence of the man at length compelled the officer to order him, with inverted arms, to march in the rear of the reginietit op the arrival of which, at Taunton, the man was °Memd to be taken in ens . Cody to the Barracks. Upon this a corporal stepped forward, and avowing his determination to resist this order, called to his comrades to support him in such resolution. Lieutenants Colonel Hoban imam.. diately seized the fellow, who drew his bayonet, and made a violent plunge at the Lieut.-Colonel, (whir) is one of the mildest and most amiable of men). which in all probability would have termi• Dated fatally, bad not Major Elton, with an in. trepidity which no praise can adequately represent, suddenly interposed, and Made a thrust .at the breast at the mutineer with his sword') which broke without in a wound. The beut..Colonel is wounded in the wrist, but we are very happy to say by no Weans seriously. The ruffian who made the above atrocious attack was secured. The aid of a troop of Dragoons was solicited from a neighbouring quarter, and aatly in the morning the regunlint was disarmed; the ringleader punished, and mercy extended to the less experienced and less guilty, and tranquility b% this prudent determination and systematic vigour cliettually restored. Captain Barclay was pursuing his extraordinary undertaking yesterday, htit as he proceeds the hopes of, accomphshing.it get,more feeble. He has twelve days more*, perform; under some disadvantages ; and although, odds are.betted on WM, he has great doubts of himself. The greatest inconvenience he feels is from his feet and legs; and not sleep, as he is enabled to get six hciiirt rest in the course of the night. The Capfain will bet any sat against any . Other . t . oan in England doing his match, whfeb be has pledged his word never to undertake again. • A foot rice was run yesterday, at Newcross; be. tWilct Captain Agar, the celebrated mile rtinner, and Mr. ,Swallow, who came up from Doncaster for the match; which was fos one hundred guineas a-side. The distance was, .one !rifle, and betting was in fa vour of the count ryman. At Starting, Mr. Swallow took the. lead at the rate of twelve miles an hour, closely followed by his adVersary; until thet had. gone half a ,mile, when the spirit of the race, com. rnenced, by each making play. The Captain won the match by about tour yards, and the mile was performed in five minutes and acne seciandi. - All the iehuism of the present day is set com pletely at defiance, by a performance of John Lep ton, of KepsWick, in the County of, York, Esq. one of the Grootns of his Majesty's privy Chamber, 8, as regarded in " Ttie English Chronicles." this Gentleman," says the historian, " did ride Five several times in one week betwixt London and York, between Monday niorising and SaturdaY tol lowing." Sunday se'unighr,.the skim of (bin' foXes were ex hibited on the principal door of Greystoke Church, in -Cumberland; the premium for the destruOion of these voracious animals, is three shillings and four pence each. This is a very ancient custom, but ob ietiied (we believe) hi few places at this A stuffed animal of this species is to be seen in that pa. fish, Which measures, from the nose to the end of the tail, four feet and a half, and (at the broadest part) 14 rnClics in girth. Yesterday, as Lady Itvcaorr and-the young La. dies, Were proceeding in their carriage down Charles street, Berkeley-square, the tore axietree broke at the corner of , Charles. street, in the square ; the coachman was pitched off his box on the pavement, the horses took fright, and run furiously towards Brutonatreet, but were fortunately stopped by a Gentleman's coachman, when her Ladyship and the young Ladies got out, without receiving any further injury than the fright. The coachman was severely bruised by the fall. • The Rev. J. Kyle, Minister of the old Presbyte. ri,m Chapel in Calisle, was found drowned in the river &l en on Sunday se'nnight. It appears that the deceased was in the habit of washing his feet at the water side, and, horn his shoes and stockings being off, it is conjettured that he bad been seized with a fit when performing the operation. He was etvetrzed by his congregation as a preacher of supe rior ab► lhies, and his loss is greatly regretted by all his friends and acquaintance. A: Coronet's Jury returned erdia—foand drowned.

PICTURE of VIENNei wider the VIENNA, JcNE 7.—To relieve the inhabitants of this city, a part of the French troops have been placed in barracks. ProviSions every day become more scarce.—Flesh, breid, and other victuals ; 'even tobacco is become very scarce. The city guard is hardly able to keep the populace in order, who . crowd around the butchers, bakers, and wherever eatables are purchased. The greatest agitation pre veils every where, and several thousands of indivi duals are wtthout.the means of support. The bankers, who commonly held their meetings in St. Stephen's . square, have been dispersed by the cavalry, and they have been prohibited, on pain of severe punishment, from assembling together. The inhabitants have been ordered to deliver up all their arms and ammu nition. All fowling-pieces, too, havebeen given up. Notwithstanding the great number of wounded in the - hospitals, and other buildings, we have not heard of any inteclious disorders. 'The following publication was on the £Bth of May posted in this place : " The arrival of supplies of Baur and grain being, `nnderi the present circumstances, attended with uu avoidable difficulties, perplexities have of late arisen; to provide the bakers, as well as the public at large, with sufficienutiour and corn. But the most effec• tual, arrangements having already been made to sup ply:the .deficiency, the public are not only hereby made acquainted with the said consolatory intiirma tion, but also cautioned . irom un►imely anxiety not to carry their claims on the trading part of the com 'munity to any exorbitant height, and thus to trans mute an imaginary evil into a real one, nor disturb `the public tranquility and' order by violent proceed ings. On this account, moderate allowances are for • the present only delivered by the trades-people to the different parties; and disthrbeis of the public peace shall be pun ish e d wi t h 'the utmost rigour warranted by law.

We are informed that a great number of French, Bavarian, Baden, Wirtemberg, and other Powers allied with France, as well as several vagabonds, persons without profession, and among them foreign Jew's, inhabit the.capital and suburbs. We know also that several deserters from the said Powers are ~laced as workmen. with.different ,private persons.-- rite Regepcy of, LOwer Austria order, in cosier. quence of a disposition.of his Majesty tho Emperor, of the French, all the inhabitants ot the city and suburbs to declare, within 04 hour ~.whether they have, any deserters f r om th e said States, whatever their'nanw or condition, and whether they have not given refug e to persons without any profession, va• gabonds, and foreign Jews.

EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LEVER FROM UDEVALLA, IN SWEDEN, NEAR THE FRONTIER OP NORWAY, DATED MAY 31. " Three respectable Norwegian merchants arrived here two days ago, GILBERT and CHRISTIAN GLUCK• SON, brothers, and Mutt pitAISON, they report hav ing received private intimation from a Magistrate near the seat of Government, of an order for their arrest, on suspicion of treasonable pra6lices, and they were fearful of being transported to Denmark, for trial. They declare their own innocence, but ac knowledge that an extraordinary degree of resent ment prevails throughout Norway against the Danes, for the annihilation of their trade, and that the loss or suspension of it with Great Britain is attended with most dreadful effeOs in every part of the wen try. These persons lost no time in making their escape to this place, in an open boat, from the neigh bourhood of Holmstrand, over the Christiania Channel." -The following is} an extra( from a letter from the Brazils, dated ltio'Janiero„April 8 „ . Rice. is very dear, notwithstanding the fresh crop is corning to market last; the increase of popu lation and newly raised troop s consume a Vast quan tity more than heretofore, and the planters had not reckoned upon such a great consumption ; hut now, according to their custom, they will cultivate it in abundance; and generally when any article is parti cularly. low they neglect it entirely. At Santos, a small port about too leagues to the Southward, rice is in greater abundance than here. Tobacco is sel dom or never exported from hence, excepting to Africa and Pernat»buco. Batria supplied the mother - country, the quantity grown there being considera ble, and the quality generally good. Hero it is very bad, exoept what comes from the neighhourhood of Mapendi, in the distria of Minas Comes, froM 'whence some good 'cotton is brought in serons, and sells for nearly as much as Pernanthnco; that pro duced here is very bad. . The population of this city is not known oven by the . Government, but since the arrival of the Court, it is very much increased # not perhaps, from this circlunstanc.e altogether, but from the natural effeta of a certain degree of Apirit and emulation, that the inhabitants of this part of the world have taught since the arrival of so many Europeans, and tempted by the cheapness and the variety of goods brought by the English for sale, the trade of the country hatk increased, and the purckasers from the interior are more numerous, and make larger in vestments than formerly. The cities of the interior where most goods are . sent from hence, are, St. Paul, Santos, Santa Caterfna, San Sebastian, San Salvador de Campos, Ciudad de Manana, Guayazas, jjjo frande, and Potto Alegre:: OLb IMIL EY.

Mar.lh's•latte, proved that the prisoner had sold five boOks to hitu, which were the property of Mr. Foster, and, which Mt. Foster asserted he had never sold, and must have been stolen from his shop. A young woman, of the name of Davis, in be half of the Prisoner, stated in evidence, that she was' in company with the Prisoner on the 9tlkot May, at the Coach and Horses public-house, when she saw a young man, who appeared to be a gentieman's servant, oiler for sale, to him the books in q U est i on . The Prisoner was acquitted.

John Harrison, the wat c h man o f t h e b eat, stated, ,• that while on his duty, he found the area -gate of Mr. Warner's house open, and on looking down, saw the kitchen shutters cut, and the WindoW s thrown up; this gave rise t o strong:suspicions, and on trying the street door, he iouhci it open, and dis covered in the passage a tea-urn; and . other article s packed up, apparently f o r t h e purpoSe of being car ried off; he proceeded to the parlour door, and in the parlour saw the Prisoner packing up linen, spoons, &c.

About three years after that period; John COurtney parted from the Prisoner, who remained as a servant in the houSeot Thomas Watson, and continued in that apparent capacity till Watson died, in iBOB, when she laid claim to a considerable part of his property, on the ground of her being married to hint ; and on reference to the parish-books of St. Ixonard's,,Shore ditch,; it appeared that this second tuarriage,, was solemnized in that church on the 23d o( November, 1806, John Courtney, her 'first husband; b e ing still in existence. In consequence of 'these ,ta&s, the present prosecution was commenced by John'Tho mas Watson, thegrandson of Thomas Watson, who was a feeble'old man, eighty years of age, when he was married.

This was an .anion brought by •L , rd • Leieester; ,agaitest thel i roprietors of the Newspaper celled the Morning Herald, to recever coeipensation it) damages for certaim slandta ous paragraphs upon his character. The damages were laid at eO,OOOl.Mr. • Seraeant BE 1r stated the case on'the patt of the !Plainaff: It was an aafati,agailist the publishers of a newspaper, 'tor a libel of Such a niitute and such Malignity, as perhaps was never before com plained of In a Court of Ju;tiee. When he stated that the damage=s were laid at '20,0(.4. he would add, that he did not think justice would be done to hiS client, if: any thing less than that sum werg awarded. No damsges Could be a reparation the injury whit' the eharaeter of his clieni suffer from such a publitaitOn t the libel was not only false, but must have been known to have beef' lalse.by those who published it. Front the enormity of the offences imputed to his Lordship, the libell.e.re must haVe known that it was untrue; Cr ifahey Could' be' supposed evable of insetting such llsea hoods. -without making the slightest inquiry respea- Mg them, they ought not to •be permitted to con -dean newspaper for another day. .They laid add ed to the libel itself every thing which could sharpen its sting, or add to its venom. It was tb be re membered, thatin the reign of . Charles the First, there-was a monster of - a tie name& Lotd who had been tried, convicted, and executed tor untratural offences, and loran offence which (thank God) thereahad-been no instance of singe that time, namely, that of assisting his servant in committing a rape upon his own wife:, The libel in the Morning Herald was a paragraph in the ad nif December, 1808, to the 'following of ea :—" Article's have beets exhibited against a Noble Loral by his Lady, similar to the articles which were exhibited by Lady Audley against her Lord, open which lie was convicted and deservedly executed ; but in the present initatiCe there were circumstances of far greater etrocity."— Now, as to this libel, lie should first ask, is it true or false ? It was unquestionably false; tor, it such ' articles had beet, exhibited, the Defendants could, have proved them from the office, at Doctors' COM. mons. where such articles, moat have been 'this charge, then, as false gas it ,*as Wicked,. the Defetidapts must have I:nol.vn to he false, nr they could 'have easily ascertained that it wad 'false, by taking did pains to inquire at Doctor's Commons, before they inserted it. On the bth Of DeceMbera the following paragraph . wits in serted The wretched son cif an English Mar quis has a b scon d e d, on charges which Lady C. (Chimney being his title, when the old Marquis. of •Townshend watealive) hes exhibited against him..-. A special warrant has been issued fora} prehending this Lord, whose infamies have lung rendered hire a.diagrace to human nature." This special warrant, for apprehending the , Plaintiff, was a pure inverse tion of the writer of the paragraph. . As a proof of the malicious motive in which theft, publications ori -ginated, he should state, that in the month of April - preceding, a paragraph had been put inathe Morning Herald, announcing the separtv ion eft Lord Chat ;ley and his • Lady, at a time when they were living mkt -tiOnately together. For this libel, however, they ap6 7 logized ; and the beitig obliged to apologize for that •libel, and having been forgiven•on account of such apology, should 'have made them cirennispeO, auo -prevented - theft) again frosts `libelling the saute Nobb person, withotteinquiring into thsetruth of .the mat.; 'ter which they".in4erled. • It appeared to him, that every thing they had done since the. ptiblication, as welt as before it, ahewed.the malice by which they - were actuated. ' For what purpose, except iocteas- Ing the angtiish of his Mind, ititri .t he distress efhis 'family, could the Defendants have subpmnaed (as they have done) the Noble Marquis, who wae the fither of the Plaintiff; his uncle, and almost all hi rHations, to be their witnesses 1 They pleb knew, that his client, who was only a Lord sty courtesy, had not the privilege of peerage ; and that his atfturs were so much embarrassed, that he must be mured in prison for debt, if his residence wad known, and therefore they had 'even applied for a 'Judge's summens i in order to discover his yeaideace, but their application was refused. .They . dotibtlesa - wanted, by the threat of having him imprisoned for debt, to ,induce him to abandon this action. In considering; the malignity of this libel, and the in jury it was likely to do, it must he recollected what a horror the British nation entertain against the vice so iniputed (and God preserve that , horror). It was so great, that let a man, charged with this vice, prove his innocence of the charge ever so fully; still a'certain degree of suspicion was attached to him, and he never could again move in society with the same comfort to.himself, or the same Nape& from others, which lie was used to meet. He trusted, therefore, that, the Jury , would consider both the rank of the person injured, and the greatness of the injury which had been indided, and relied upon their finding a proper verdiat. The first evidence was the register of parnphlets, or papers at the Stamp Office. He proved the De fendants to have sworn themselves proprietors, pin, ter, and publisher of the Morning Herald. The papers were then produced, and the libellous paragraphs read. The next Witness v4B Mr. Ilarlbav, who produced faint the records of the Court of King'i Bench, the' inquisition upon Lord Audley, his indictment and convidtion. Mr. Atiecat pointed out a variation between this record, when the inquisition - Was said to be before Sir Edward Hyde, and the declaration, in the present case, when it Wits Stated to hitie been 'before Si r Geo, .NieholafEdavard'Hyde,: who was another person; In teal .no parttime& that name had ever been Chief Justice of the IWO:Bench: This objection was fatal-to some of the:taunts in thetteclaration, but there appearing to be others on which it did not attach.' Mr. Micas, Solicitor to the Plaintiff, said; that he believedahe paragraphs which had beet) read, to apply to the Plaintiff._ He had no doubt,at all Of it.
